What drum machine did Cabaret Voltaire use on Nag Nag Nag?

There's a quote attributed to RHK about this:

Then we got a Selmer which was amazing because it could do drum rolls. None of these were programmable, it had three different varieties, a drum roll every four bars or every eight or whatever. It was the one we used on "Nag Nag Nag".

Only thing is that no Selmer drum machine does fills, at least that I can find.

I can't find any organ-top drum machines of that era that have fill capability, either.

they built their own in the early days, they used kits but messed around with them, whatever they used it wasn't a standard piece of equipment

Are we talking electromechanical here? Microprocessor-based?

maybe a Hillwood HR-30 Super Variation (badged as Selmer)?

the HR-2 in this demo gets tantalisingly close, if only the demonstrator left on all the congas at the slower tempo on ROCK

Yeah, that's an interesting possibility. I hadn't heard of this drum machine before, and I'd love to get my hands on one.

maybe a Hillwood HR-30 Super Variation (badged as Selmer)?

I'm thinking that the HR-30 would be in the same retail/resale price range as the CR-68 or CR-78, and while I don't know how much RHK had to spend on such things at the time, my intuition is that it was slightly out of reach in 1979.

why am I going "ah ha ha" like Alan Vega during that whole video

I know this wasn't the question or the answer but look how an analog drum machine from the 60s worked:

This beautiful drum machine is always the answer.

Well, I have acquired a Hillwood HR-2, and while it's definitely got fills, it's not the Nag Nag Nag drum machine.

:(

Perhaps if you tweet at @chrisrwatson he might recall?

I'm starting to think that it's a CR-68. It's got a fill which is very, very close. The CR-68 is brighter than Nag Nag Nag's DM tho, so I'd want to see how it could be filtered to match.

I don't have a CR-68 tho and that's gonna run one big one to supply for this flite of fancy.

Not the answer, but in this photo you can see the Farfisa Rhythm 10.

As far as the Hillwood... check out this at around the 2:40 mark:

According to a book: RHYTHM MACHINES (Volume 1) which "documents the rise and fall of the preset pattern rhythm units" there is a listing for a Selmer HR-30.

Also in the Western Works photo you can just barely see an EMS Synthi Hi Fli... incredibly rare and sought after now.

May be of help:

The Hillwood HR-30 looks quite promising. I've had it on search for ages, with no hits on ebay or reverb. This has got to be just a rare beast of a box.
